Hello everyone, SKAGs (Single Keyword Ad Groups) is on of the best way to structure your search campaigns, however it's very hard to create. Fiuti.com automates the whole creation part and outputs a CSV file which can then be uploaded to Google Ads (So we don't require access to your account). If you have questions please ask!

  Which ad blocker would you recommend for your users?
  - cosbgn 7y ago
    Most ad-blockers don't block Google Search ads! If you want to block them you need to set it up. Most ad-blockers have a Acceptable Ads switch.

      uBlock origin blocks everything on Google SERPs.

  What happens when you hit the maximum number of ad groups that Google allows per campaign. Isn’t it something like 50 or 100?
  - cosbgn 7y ago
    It's actually 20,000 ad groups per campaign. So yes, you probably don't want to add more than 20K keywords.

I added a keyword “content research” and was expected a list of related keywords/synonyms to create ads for. As well as negative word to ignore. But it expects me to come up with them myself? Having a hard time seeing how this helps automates things for me...

  Hi, you should add that keyword in the keyword planner at https://fiuti.com/app/keyword-planner https://fiuti.com/app/keyword-planner and click on the keywords you want, look at this quick video I just recorded for you: https://cl.ly/c731c0 https://cl.ly/c731c0

Google has been restricting the mass creation of adgroups because it's bad practice, based on adspend. In other words if you aren't spending reasonable amounts on ad spend, this is not a good campaign structure if you want to use thoudands of lines from these CSV.

  To be honest SKAGs are very popular and I haven't heard that Google would restrict them. Hundreds of Agencies use SKAGs on a daily basis. This said I don't recommend to SKAG 1000 keywords, I usually suggest to create SKAGs for the top 10 converting keywords and group the rest in small topic related ad groups (you can do that with Fiuti using the topics tab)

    I am aware of their popularity, but just because something is popular, doesn't make it correct.

I still don’t see how this is 20x faster, the UI is a little better than traditional Google Ads creator, but isn’t downloading and editing an already put together campaign much faster than this? Maybe I’m failing to see the magic here, but it doesn’t look significantly different from what’s already out there.
- cosbgn 7y ago
  Hi it really depends on your setup. To create something like this is nearly impossible with the Google ads interface. The tool for example cross-negates all the keywords and sets them as negatives all the other ad groups, plus you would need to create the same ad for each ad group. If you have 3 maybe it's ok but with 10+ it gets really complicated!

I've built a couple of systems similar to this over the years, they've definitely saved me and colleagues countless hours during of account creation. I never got round to making a UI quite as nice as this - always wanted too but it did the job as it was. Good job!
- cosbgn 7y ago
  Thank you! I'm happy you like the UI, I put a lot of effort on having many features while keeping it clean!

Wrote even visually very similar tool for myself last year. Also with vue/vuetify :) On the final step, where you have 'save', I have several buttons: "copy campaigns, adwords editor", "copy campaigns, bing editor", "copy ad groups, adwords editor", etc. That was really quick and intuitive way of transfering generated data to bing/adwords editor.
- cosbgn 7y ago
  Vue is the best! Vuetify is actually more a pain than anything else. Eventually I'll re-write the css. I've been thinking to integrate the Bing editor but the demand has been really low for it so far.

I guess with such a name OP's site won't find customers in Poland... :^)
- cosbgn 7y ago
  Yes I've recently learned that! Imagine that my previous name was SKAG.io I was hoping that the rebranding would be a good move!

I just need to write this ... "Fiuti" in Polish sounds almost like "Dicks"
